I noticed all my SEOed sites are getting attacked constantly by viruses. I do wordpress sites. Does anyone have a good recommendation to protect my clients sites? thanks

We have tried all different kinds of security plugins but none seem to work long term.

Carla,
We have been using Sucuri for about 2 years now. I haven't tried it on a Magento site but imagine it would work just as well. I have had to submit probably 6 support tickets for malware removal in that time for various client sites and each time they have cleared it up within the hour. It is pretty great for peace of mind. The first time it happened we spent 3 days trying to figure out what was up and so Sucuri was just a no brainer at that point. All the best to you.

Hi Nathan,
Yes I am interested but I don't think your rates will work for us. We are in Argentina and with a very devalued currency at the moment. We are an Argentina Seo company. Thanks for offering.

Hi Joshua,
How long have you guys been using Securi? Do you use it on all your sites as a requirement? We purchased it for 5 sites just 3 months ago and so far it works. Have you ever applied Securi to a Magento site? Does it also reduce Spam?
Thanks
Carla

Thanks Mike. I will take a look at this post. We have tried most of this main points but every once in awhile the sites still get hacked. My clients are too "frugal" to pay Securi.

Carla,
We use http://sucuri.net/ to protect our wordpress sites. Not only does it offer some protection, but if you get hacked and have Malware, it tells you right away and real people from their company will remove the malware from your site and get it cleaned up within a couple hours. It's probably not the cheapest service on the market, but it works really really well.

Hi Carla,
Read this article on WordPress security goes into detail on, "... some common forms of vulnerabilities, and the things you can do to help keep your WordPress installation secure."
From my understanding, the gist of it is:
- Keep your installations up-to-date.
- Keep strong passwords and change them regularly.
- Remove unwanted plugins.
- Assign permissions to folders and files.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Hey Carla,
There are a bunch of different security measures you can take to protect your websites on the server side and on the wordpress side. My company specializes in WordPress Security. If you would like to PM I could give you some rates per site or a bundle for all of them.

Does anyone use Ning (Custom social site)?
We just got a custom Ning site developed and the second we moved it to our domain, we lost almost all of our rankings in Google. So, we sign up for a SEOMoz Pro account and within a week we see that we have over 6,000 errors and warnings on our site. Duplicate content, duplicate page titles and pages with too many links. Is anyone using Ning and successfully maintaining 1st page rankings in Google? Seems to me that we need hundreds of fixes and modifications in the code of our site to fix all of these errors and get Google to take our penalizations off.

How much of an issue is it if a site is somehow connected to a site that was penalized by Google?
I am working with someone that is about to launch a new site, and one of the sites was affected by the Panda update. Does it matter if the two sites are connected? Share the same hosting provider and same Google Webmaster's account?
